Venezuela: Unhappy new year

Maduro, the True Believer, puts political ideology above grim reality. He is thus clueless about the fact that his rosy television spot shows holiday scenes that no longer exist in Venezuela — not after decades of bread-and-circuses populism culminating in what the late Hugo Chávez, the firebrand socialist and Maduro’s mentor, called “21st century socialism.” Now as in communist Cuba, Venezuela has achieved true social equality: everybody is poor. Cuba and Venezuela are close allies.

The only surprise about the pathetic situation in Venezuela is that Maduro did not ask for help from Cuba to learn how to not let the patently obvious socialist policies, which produced the fiasco, deteriorate so quickly the “quality of life,” that is, eating–rather, NOT eating, or if he asked for that Cuban help, he was not considered worthy for that Cuban help by Fidelito and Raulito, the Cubans being the unnamed winners of the eternal Pulitzer Prize and the Nobel award for literature.

God help the Venezuelans who know that Maduro is a common pilferer, a thief, and a champion wh 0re, but who suffer from basic human problems, that is eating. Oremus–that is, we pray for the folks in Rio Linda.
